JAEGER-LECOULTRE

Odysseus Moon Phase Chronograph, Ref. 165.7.3, 18-carat yellow gold and rose gold, 1990

Chronograph, full calendar, moon phase, and two-tone case

Rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Odysseus Chronograph, Ref. 165.7.3, May 7, 1990.

This elegant model belongs to the Odysseus collection, developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre at the turn of the 1990s, a period during which the manufacture successfully combined classic elegance, refined complications, and exemplary quality.

Its 18-carat gold case is distinguished by a particularly sophisticated construction. The yellow gold case is accentuated by a thin peripheral band of rose gold that subtly frames the case and adds depth, contrast, and refinement to the overall design. This discreet yet striking detail gives this Odysseus a unique character within the manufacturer’s lineup.

The white Enamel dial is one of the main attractions of this model. Remarkably legible, it features a three-counter chronograph, a moon phase at 12 o’clock, a date display at 4:30, and a pulsometric scale graduated for 30 beats—a complication historically designed for the rapid measurement of heart rate.

The applied gold hour markers and elegant sword-shaped hands contribute to the watch’s overall aesthetic balance, while the blued central chronograph hand adds a particularly striking touch of contrast.

The watch is powered by a Jaeger-LeCoultre Quartz movement, ensuring precision, reliability, and comfort for everyday use. A new battery has been installed.

In June 2026, it underwent a complete service at the Atelier des Tocantes in Paris. All functions were tested and verified. This service comes with a 12-month Warranty.

A request for an archive extract is currently pending with Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Particularly attractive, this Odysseus comes with its original box, its antique warranty certificate, and its original documentation. It will be delivered on a new leather strap fitted with a gold-plated pin buckle signed by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
